These are holidays created and run by Gill and Dave Armstead, a British couple living in the region. They have developed a good knowledge of the area, and its plant and animal life, as well as local customs and traditions. The couple now live on a small farm above the village of Torrox Pueblo and are good Spanish speakers.
